1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundElastin insufficiency causes recurrent vascular stenoses. Hemizygous deletion of the elastin gene (

methodsPatients (81 WBS, 42 nonsyndromic SVAS) with cardiovascular disease were included in this retrospective single center study. Freedom from surgical and catheter interventions and reinterventions was compared. Vascular tissue from 8 patients and 6 controls was analyzed for arterial wall architecture.

resultsPatients with nonsyndromic SVAS presented at a younger age (median 0.3 [0.4-0.7] years) compared with patients with WBS (1.3 [0.2-3.0] years) and had lower freedom from surgical/catheter interventions compared with patients with WBS, with median event-free survival 1.1 (0.3-5.9) versus 4.7 (2.4-13.3) years, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.62 [95% CI, 1.02-2.56];

conclusionsPatients with nonsyndromic SVAS require early and more frequent vascular and valvular interventions and reinterventions, in particular for concomitant valvar aortic stenosis compared with patients with WBS. This provides important prognostic information to guide counseling of affected families with cardiovascular disease and may guide primary intervention strategies based on predicted risk of restenosis.
